I recently had an opportunity to visit Rochester City School District and found time to visit several school buildings as a part of the EETT Program monitoring. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised to observe extensive use of technology in the process of teaching and learning in classrooms. It would not do justice for me to describe what is going on through my observation. The video linked below will provide you an overview of how in Rochester CSD two departments (IT and ET) joined forces to provide services and support to provide 21st century learning environment and remove barriers to improve and expand students' learning opportunities. It is a bit long as it ranges from technology infrastructure, school data reporting and accountability system, instructional support system and technology rich learning environment. It is worth a "sit-through". I sincerely hope you will enjoy it as much as I did and also share with the group what you have accomplished.
